We discuss the Justice Centre report "Digital ID, Surveillance, and the Value of Privacy" by our Education Programs Coordinator Luke Neilson. The report makes a distinction between the benefits of some types of digital IDs--like better authentication of a person's identity--and more invasive types that collect and centralize large amounts of personal information which may be abused. Later in the show we shine a spotlight on the National Citizen's Inquiry into Canada's Covid-19 response.
